As a follow up to the previous article about blood bowl serial, I have finally heard back from G2play:

"Yes we have sent email to our Blood Bowl customers explaining the situation and offering refund on the product. The keys were acquired in unlegitimate way by our supplier which we banned from our services and we are considering legal steps towards him. But since we do not have any proof against him but only the publishers claims it will be hard to proceed against. We have refunded promptly around 150 customers."

So that settles that, to some degree. They have passed on the blame to their supplier, but also done the honourable thing and accepted full responsibility for it themselves, and are doing what it takes to set things right. This whole saga has given me a better opinion of G2play, and a worse one of Focus. I think I am going to be fairly happy to post deals from G2play in the future, but I will always put a disclaimer on them I think.

Lucasarts have just put a bunch of their old old old games on Steam. I thought to myself when they announced they were doing so "Excellent, I may pick a few of those old adventure games I never played first time around in the inevitable weekend sale". But that wasn't good enough for Lucasarts.

They have priced a bunch of genuine classics at only £2.99 each. Bargainalicious.

Origin of SavyGamer

The idea behind SavyGamer is simple: Everyone has a budget and the best way to push that budget is to shop smart.

There are tonnes of pricebots about (froogle, kelkoo, you know them all) and I'm not about to substitute them, they do a fine job. I post what I think are quality deals, good games/gaming related equipment that is a good deal at the asking price.

Where applicable, I will post referral links. These links will lead to me getting commission from the retailers, often varying between 1 and 10%. There is no change in price for you, but if you prefer not to use referral links then you only need to browse the homepage of the retailer and search for the item.

If you ever want to submit a deal, or request a good deal on a specific game, email me at LewieP@savygamer.co.uk, and I will do my best to help you out.
